While We're Waiting® - Hope After Child Loss

283 | When God Holds the Thread (Part Two) with Debra Amick


Listen Later

In this second half of my conversation with Debra Amick, we explore what life looked like after Chase went to Heaven and how God gently led her from deep grief toward renewed purpose.

A meaningful part of this episode centers on four anchors God gave her in the fog of grief:

  • Prayer support when she didn’t have strength of her own
  • Scripture placed throughout her home to remind her of what was true
  • Resting in God’s presence, allowing Him to meet her where words failed
  • Guarding her heart, choosing carefully what she allowed in during fragile days

Debra also describes the slow journey toward purpose—giving herself permission to hope again, listening for God’s direction, and discovering how her story could help others move from pain to purpose.

Debra talks about how she began writing online—originally intending to speak to midlife women, not realizing how many grieving hearts would find her words. She shares how God used her vulnerability to comfort others and how her faith became the steady thread she clung to as she learned to live again.
